2.2 And Lower Class Graduates.. How Much Of Job Offers Do They Hit? by oluwaemmanuel: 5:17pm On Feb 28, 2017
In a country where the corruption has eaten deep into the education system and also students keep coming out with low grades whereas the little job opportunities available keeps placing barriers, what are the the chances those with Lower grade at the hND level and 2.2 at the b.sc level have. What hope do they hold on to?

While graduating with good grades is good, putting God first is the best. It's all about God! With God a third class graduate can work in a place that pays well. It's all about Grace! FTC things.....

I will explain

To be honest, your grade matters especially when then have requested specifically for a particular grade. Aside that, your grade becomes useless as poo!

If there is something that matters more to an employer especially during this recession period, it is someone who has the skill and wouldn't require much training.

If you have those hard skills... Whether you are 2.2 or 3.2, once you can show them that you got it, they will dump a first class graduate without skill and rush after you.

There are so many of them. To be honest, it boils down to the career path you wish to undertake.

If I decide to be a programmer today, and I am good at it well. They will hire me before a Computer Science first class graduate who knows just theories.

If you can troubleshoot and solve complex electric problems practically, even with your 2.2, they will hire you than the first class electrical Engineer that knowns only how to pass Exams.

I hope you can understand now.

It depends on the line of course you wish to undertake.

The way job Landers use the word 'skill' at the drop of a hat eh.

I look forward to a thread were they will break it down to bits of what 'skill' means and all types of skill for different career paths.

Time and chance happen to all sir..the bread is not to the wise nor riches to men of understanding. Yea, they do get the job..it is no barrier at all...if you have person (connection), God or confidence. But as we have it in this country..neither those with 1st class, 2:1, 2:2, HND are getting the jobs because there is hardly any...job market is saturated. What we need now are folks who can create one and think outside the box to industrialize this nation.

It's skill that matters in naija not grade. Except you're going for general jobs that everybody knows(or needs just a few days training to start work) like banking etc if you're going to work for IT coys, they pay you good money based on skill and experience not certificate atleast for now, and I bet they'll never do.

Let me break it down for you. When we graduates mention skills, these are what we mean :
-Dribbling skills (leg-over)
Bedmatic skills
Bribery skills (egunje)
Connection skills (Bluetooth and WiFi)

These skills are paramount to getting a job in Nigeria. grin

HE shows mercy on whom HE wishes to show mercy. It still boils down to the God factor. I am not a yoruba man but, yoruba people say: "bi o se wun Oluwa ni n se ola e".

Ordinarily, a grade like 2:2 should get you a great join for starters but it's quite tragic that even a 1st class graduate with a Masters degree can't even get a deserving job in this country.

The worst thing that can happen to a Nigerian graduate is to graduate with anything below 2.1.

If you learn to keep your certificate underneath your bed and spend quality time to network and meet people that matters, I can assure you, you will get a job you definitely know you wouldn't have been qualified for.


The bitter truth we all shy away for is that... "It's a man know man thing". Something close to cabals, ring, caucus e.t.c

Though hard work pays, but little.
